Chicken and vegetable stir-fry's are an easy weeknight meal that you can feel good about serving to your family. I have kids that love to eat around the vegetables, but have hope that someday they will love broccoli like me! I have many favorites, and each has a unique sauce. This one is a fun combination of peanut butter and coconut milk. The flavors are very family friendly and will be a bit hit with your kiddos!
Satay Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry
Serves 6
1 (14-oz.) can coconut milk (light is fine)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper
2 cups frozen stir-fry vegetables
1/2 cup frozen peas
4 cups hot cooked rice or ramen noodles
For the sauce, in a bowl whisk together coconut milk, peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, ginger, and crushed red pepper. In a large skillet, heat to medium high. Add some vegetable or olive oil, then add chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for about 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Add vegetables and cook and stir for 5 more minutes. Add sauce; heat through. Serve over rice or ramen noodles.
Step-by-step tutorial:
Gather your ingredients. You will need chicken, peanut butter, coconut milk, frozen vegetables, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, and either rice or ramen.
In a mixing bowl, add 1 (14-oz.) can coconut milk and 1/3 cup peanut butter.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet with oil to medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and starting to brown.
Add the frozen vegetables (desired amount - I use a bag of stir-fry veggies and 1/2 cup frozen peas). Cook and stir for another 5 minutes or until vegetables are heated through.
Pour in the satay sauce. Stir to combine.
Let simmer until thickened. You can add a slurry of cornstarch and water if you want it a little thicker. (Depends on the moisture from the vegetables.)
Serve over cooked rice or cooked ramen noodles. It will quickly become a regular in your family rotation! So easy, and very yummy!
